This camera was produced from 1914-1927. It takes 116 film and originally cost $24.00.

There is a number 72682 behind the metal "Kodak" tab that serves as the cameras level (shown in pictures 1 and 2). I was unable to research the number, but if anyone knows where I can find more information on the camera, please let me know.

I noted that the font of the Eastman-Kodak Co. logo above the lense changed through the production of this camera. I was able to trace this logo to the initial production year of 1914.

Regenia Smith, 4 years agoI found one of these while cleaning out my Grandmother's house. It seems to be in good shape but for some reason I can not get the door open where the lense is. Is there a trick to getting it open?

dshipes1, 4 years agoThere is a tab that says "KODAK" on the front. There is a serial number underneath it. Pull that tab to open.

Rich Russo, 4 years agoI have a kodak A-1 . The door is closed on it and can't seem to get it open even when pulling on Kodak tab. Any tricks to it or is it just jammed?

dshipes1, 4 years agoDepending on your model year, there are two tabs on the back on opposite sides. When pressed it will allow you to open it. Or there is a slide trigger on the end where the strap is (usually under the strap) that will allow access.
